Can someone provide me a link or two to help me get started please.

Define "get me started". Do you have a concept written out? State diagram sort of built up? An idea of what pages are needed? A definition of how the user will interact with the game? How the user will interact with each other? How data will be stored/retained? How logins will be done? Do you ever played a browser based MMO? If so think of everything you interacted with on those games and jot that down. Does that measure up to your list?

I am going into 4th year of my course in college and I have chosen a Massively Multiplayer Browser-Based Game for my Project for the year.

Typically if you are asking "where to start" I would suggest a different project focus.

I did some research on Browser-baised games, and honestly there is no easy access info out there.

What do you mean? There are plenty of information. What were your search terms?

Re: Browser based game, Help please

As much as i appreciate your fast reply, i cant help but feel as though your talking to me as though i am quite stupid.

I have game concept and user interaction all complete, and i have a rough idea of all the classes.

I have created loads of games in flash and java, what i have never done is created a browser baised game, and i was just looking for some direction regards making a game that is online and multiplayer.

Okay then get more specific. If you have the entire pages created and concept nailed out - what specifically are you having trouble understanding? I am hoping with loads of flash and java game experience for a bit of articulation so the community can narrow down the help to something germane.

Are you asking for browser BASED or am I missing something with "baised"?

Oh pish posh... you've created loads of games, right? Then you know how to articulate the parts of a game. You have a game design and design docs, right? Assuming that wasn't just posturing then you should have definable gaps on what you want to do and your current knowledge base. Just draw a circle around those gaps and slap them down in a thread. A chunk of solving a problem is being able to DEFINE the problem.
